Anti New Year Resolutions---Day to Day Resolutions instead!

Every year we make New Year's Resolutions, though most of us never really follow through with them. And why must we wait until the New Year to decide to make changes in our life? We have 365 days in a year and we have to wait till the 1st day of January to make decisions on what needs to be changed???!!! We should be making these decisions every day whether it's wanting to eat better and lose weight which is what...everybody's goal plan (getting kinda pointless really). I say that because we are all fine the way we are. If you eat correctly to begin with and if you do some sort of work out during the week your fine. Size 0 to a Size 16 and up! We were not all created to be one size, the same size, the same body, or the same person because that would get boring pretty darn fast. Other New Year's Resolutions could be to start saving money...yeah, we do that everyday folks!
Here's a new idea! Make small goals each day. Making breakfast, lunch or dinner instead of buying it. Spend more time with family...as long as they live close it shouldn't be that hard (something I'm trying to work on). Spend time with friends, just because you are with friends doesn't mean you have to spend money either, or drink till your death, or eat bad foods...just hang out and shoot the shit people! Go outside!!!! -I've found myself enjoying being outside more often than being inside unless I'm dog tired, or it's cold. Listen to music, read a book, write a song, decorate your place, etc etc. To Hell with New Year's Resolutions, lets make Day to Day Resolutions! that's my new idea and i'm stickin to it! :)

Rambles...

I haven't blogged in a while, my life has been crazy and it's starting to run me down. I work a lot, I don't get enough sleep and I hold onto things wayyy to long when I should just let it go. However I did recently move into a new lovely, non smelly, and considerably larger apartment that I now call home. I'm in the process of making it my own and even though the move in was kind of frustrating with a few WTF moments, I was able to survive the chaos and enjoy the apartments simple beauty. :)
Among other things that have happened, I talked with an old friend of mine the other day, and it was sort of enlightening. I realized how much I do judge people, specially her and I had to stop and actually look at the entire situation. Yes I still hold a few things against her from the past because words that were said truly did hurt, and yes I don't always agree with the things she does but she is who she is and I will always consider her a friend and love her no matter what. I realized that in a way she really is living the life that many of us would love to live. Though in a way she isn't. Constant searching for something I fear she has lost herself. For I too have gone through a similar situation but I found my feet again. I know what I want to do but I also know it's going to take time and I have other responsibilities that come first.
On a lighter note: my photography business is picking up again :)
-Photos of children at a daycare
-Photos of birthday parties
-Family photos
-And of course my random ventures out into the world to take pictures the way i see things.

Here is one of my favorite pictures from the other day ....

This is the beautiful baby Gavin on his 1st birthday!

A few thoughts

It's 12:57 p.m. on a Saturday night. I'm tired, yet I haven't gone to bed yet. Lately I've been feeling a lack of... well, a lack of life. Maybe also a lack of Meaning. I know that I help people during the day, but what am I doing for myself? Not a whole lot really. I'm working  a lot. Which is fine, I need the money. I laugh at that line though because every person overly tired, cranky, unhappy, and antisocial is an over worked person caught up in the crazy web of society...and they always say "i need the money". That though, truthfully isn't a lie. With out that silly green piece of paper we couldn't have anything.
Anyways, I have the next two days off, kinda...I still work Monday but not until 5:30. So, in the mean time..I am going to try and do things for myself, the first thing...get some sleep! After that, start doing yoga again, eating healthy like I love to do, read a book or two, take some pictures, Go HIKING!! and last but certainly not least, I really miss looking at the stars.
If you read this, who ever you are...please remember to take time for yourself :) We only have one life on this planet, and why waist it in the constant battle for paper.

Quick drive..

I was driving to Roswell, Thursday morning and as the sun was slowly creeping up I got to see the world come to life. Something I haven't seen in some time. The colors changed, the sky brightened and then I came out of the valley where only a little red shown through the cracks of the hills and then my eyes beheld something so majestic the only thing I could think to say was, "wow". I'd never seen a sight like this before. I've always seen sunsets but never a sunrise like this. Frankly I don't think I've ever really seen the sun rise. 20 yrs of life and this was my first true sunrise. 

Loving myself...

Okay, so the other day I decided to....take some fun pictures of myself. Some my mother found to be..."high rental property photos", I on the other hand felt they were more creative. I've always had body issues, to the extent that I'm not always particularly happy with how I look. Well, this helped me like "me" a little more. I am coming to appreciate my curves, and I really have always liked being different, to the sense of not being skinny, having my attitude and just taking life, all of life in and enjoying it. anyways here are a few shots :) mind you, I do love roses, which I used in most of my pictures. Also, these were taking in my apartment so you see bits of my life in the background. 

Crazy Vegas!

I recently went to Las Vegas Nevada! One word to describe it..obnoxious. The town anyways. The first day upon arriving in this crazy town, I went walking with my mom down the strip. Overwhelmed with everything around me, I tried to remain calm and take pictures. Everything was well until I experience the "weirdos" of Vegas. I won't even go into detail but lets just say I had to regain my cool, and get off the strip and roam Sephora, pretending to be interested in make-up.
Continuing on...
During my stay in Vegas I was able to capture some pretty amazing moments, at of course my favorite -crazy angles-, vibrant colors and even a few in black and white. This town can be amazing, but for a small town girl it's just way over the top!
Here are a few photos... Enjoy!!

Quick hello...

Just a quick little howdy do to you all. Whomever you may be. I'm headed to Vegas tomorrow, and yes it's Las Vegas Nevada! I have the great pleasure of taking a couples engagement photos and then in August I'll be taking their Wedding photos. I must say, I have never been more excited! I'm ready to photograph something new, and alien to me. I have a feeling I may just die in these next few days from running around snapping photos but what the heck, I have one life, this one amazing camera and a once in a life time opportunity! I'm going to take it! I'll be attempting to keep updates on here, on my twitter account (okay maybe not that one so much) but I'll have new pictures on facebook. Check out Angled Photography!! Love and Peace <3
Now, lets get this party started!!!!!
Yeeeehawwww!!!!!!
